== Basic Killing Floor Keys (Original Bindings / Alternates)==


This page now contains the actual keys you need to press, rather than just tell you what you can do and not the key to press for it as it once did. There are also several proper "Quick Reference Tables" below, that give you the default bindings for all keys, along with recommended keys for easier playing, quicker communications and less hand stretching.

Cos let's face it - you don't get much chance to breath in this game D:


In these Quick Reference Tables, the Killing Floor Strategy wiki give you our bindings for kicking ass as the "2nd/Alternate" key (they will change "1st/Default keys", so use what works best for you.

The first thing you want to do it goto key-mapping from options and change "Quick Iron Sights"  from "I" to Right Mouse Button (RMB), as this will make things a LOT easier - believe me - especially with scoped weapons like the [[crossbow]].

----"F" for Flashlight (torch) on will usually goto this weapon tree, though others can use flashlights too like the [[Shotgun]]. You can also toggle the flashlight with by pressing the middle mouse button (for most its the depressed scroll button). This also works as the Alternate Fire Mode for weapons.

----* Pipebombs and [[Remote Charges]] aren't grenades, they are more like proximity or remote mines; So don't use them like grenades. Just place them (a good place is a short way in front of a welded-shut door and along corridors where you cought get surprised from behind by a [[Bloat]]. [[Sirens]] don't affect them as they do [[RPG's]] or grenades so you can shut her gob with 'em. Use them tactically, welding select doors, and you're bound to find it a lot easier to cope on Hell on Earth mode than without ''some'' tactics and co-operation.

- Default V * Activate Quick Communication Menu: from the pop-up box navigate through short menus to say things by using number keys. ie. V, 5 then 1, insults the other players, where V, 1 and then 1 will remind your oblivious team-mates that you might need a little healing before you die - MEDIC!!!

Default "T" will allow in game text chat. The text can vanish quite fast, so keep messages short when playing or use a mic. It's a good way to get killed, talking too much and not shooting :P

I'm gonna put these in here, just in case - me and my buddies use the numpads for certain things, what are here are just suggestions - we prefer using a Mic as, by the time you've pressed enough buttons though the "V" menu to say "LOOK OUT!" no sooner are you, and them and the other guy who saw it too, toasted and being feasted upon...

It's probably easier to get used to the 'V' menu if you don't have a Mic (even if you do, it can be funny listening to the different characters slagging each other off over nothing) if you're unused to or - like some keyboards and Macbooks n stuff - don't even have a Numpad (makes sure numlock is ON, please).

Everything here is sourced from upcoming contentent at PlayItHardCore.com [if you can get past the spambots] and Steam Group (Steam search us, or visit the site - I'll link it later when not in the Steam browser :P) and will be appearing there, as it was written for that site.
This one just has top slot - doesn't mean it's the best strategy wiki, however...
 
Game on people!

== Weapon use ==
* Primary fire
* Use iron-sights
* Alternate fire (either a significantly more powerful attack, a semi/auto mode selector, or a laser sight toggle)
 
== Movement ==
FPS game standard WASD, jump, and crouch keys. Very useful but seldom seen in games out of the box is a toggle crouch key. Use it.
 
== Other keys ==
* Drop money
* Drop weapon
* Reload
* Throw grenade
* Enable/disable flashlight
* VOIP (this is very well implemented in KF since it actually cuts out the background music when you talk)
* Canned speech menu
